[QUOTE="rswright11, post: 8255175, member: 660795"] I have been out of the car audio scene for a LONG time. I finally decided to put a 12 in my crew cab RAM. I had a Kicker ZX300.1 amp that probably puts out around 350 true watts. I bought a Rockford Fosgate R2SD4-12 that has a RMS of 250. There aren't a lot of different subs that can fit in my box. I started tuning it with the gain yesterday and had it up between halfway and 3/4 when I started to smell a burn and feel heat from the cone of my woofer. I am assuming I was clipping the amp but I was wondering, if I bought a sub that had a higher RMS rating, could I turn the gain up without it clipping or burning the sub up? I know a Kicker CVT would fit which has a RMS of 400 watts. It is a sealed box with about .65 sqft. Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!! [/QUOTE]
